When optimizing mobile and web applications, choosing between Lottie animations and traditional video (like MP4 or WebM) directly impacts your app’s performance, download footprint, and user experience. The Core Difference

Traditional Video records and transmits pixel data frame-by-frame, compressing a grid of colors.

Lottie transmits vector data as text (JSON format), detailing the mathematical formulas of shapes, paths, and keyframes. The device’s CPU/GPU renders the animation locally on the fly. Performance Comparison Breakdown GitHub – explainers-by-googlers/native-lottie-support
